Hey. I just upgraded my XAMPP installation but now my IP address no longer automatically redirects to index.php. How can I fix this? Thanks.

What is your Windows OS?

I take it you mean you installed 1.7.7 after uninstalling your older version?

Which IP are you trying to use?

Etc.etc.etc.

Some help with how to post especially giving full details of your issue.

I'm using Windows 7 Home edition I believe, and yeah it's 1.7.7. I'm just running it off my local IP, no router or anything. The same address that connects to localhost. This is just a problem because when people connect to my domain now they see "index of /" instead of going to index.php. I could change the domain to forward directly to it but that would screw up hotlinking since I need the domain set to the IP itself.

Where exactly is the index.php located?

Try using the new xampp-control-3-beta.exe file in the xampp folder instead of the older 2.5* version to start Apache and MySQL and see if the log window of the CP3 has any clues.

If there is an index.php in the htdocs folder and the Apache server is running then it will show that index.php not a folder listing.

Type in your browser http://localhost - does that work and give you the XAMPP Welcome page?

Have you any error messages in the xampp\apache\logs\error.log file?

Any clues in the access.log file in the same folder?
